| 4201 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as: "John in the family line in Collosa with his father." | Stewart, John (I16962)
|
| 4202 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as: "John Stewart late tacksman of Ruchoais, Buchanan parish, Stirlingshire, which is the Duke of Montrose's property. Lochlomondside called Craigrostain claimed once by Rob Roy Macgregor. " | Stewart, John in Ruchoais (I17233)
|
| 4203 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as: "John Stewart tenant in the lots of Greenock in the ancient Barony of Callendar, formerly belonged to the family of Perth now to a gentleman from Edinr of the name of Hunter - has four sons two with himself and two in the W Indies, the one of which made a fortune." And in the Appendix to Stewarts of the South as "Mr John Stewart Bogton south from Callr a brother to the above [Walter and James] a rather better character." | Stewart, John in Bogton (I17248)
|
| 4204 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as: "John Stewart, is a subtenant of Toighbaid, Barony of Lendrick, Callander parish, which was once part of the Perth estate, but now belongs to Sir Patrick Murray of Auchtertyre. John is a bachelor." As this comment was written ca 1815 then it's possible John could have married after 1815. | Stewart, John in Toighbaid (I17236)
|
| 4205 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as: "John Stewart, late innkeeper [at] Easter Bridge of Turk [on the] Earl of Moray's property, [in] Callander parish [at the] foot of Glenfinglas. [He was] formerly a soldier and pensioner, [and] left two sons, [namely] James, [an] innkeeper [in] Callendar who has one son Alexander, [a] crofter, under McFarlane of Coillechra [in] Callendar parish and on Loch Catherineside who has also one son." John is shown as one of four grandsons of Sean Rob, but his relationship to the other grandsons is not indicated. He could be a brother or cousin of some of them, or an illegitimate brother of any of them. The simplest relationship is shown for now in the absence of evidence. John's marriage is incorrectly recorded in the IGI. The marriage as shown here is from Malcolm Gray's transcriptions. John is recorded as "in Aberfoyle parish" and Mary as "in this parish" (Callander). The marriage and children shown here are not confirmed. Whether John's suggested wife, Mary McFarlane was related to Hugh McFarlane of Coillachra has not been determined. (See side note above for information on McFarlane of Coillachra.) If we have correctly accounted for this branch then John's eldest son's name is incorrectly recorded in Stewarts of the South as "James" instead of "John". | Stewart, John (I17206)
|
| 4206 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as: "John Stewart, late tenant there (Portnellan), left four sons." | Stewart, John (I17207)
|
| 4207 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as: "John Stewart, once tacksman Ardcheanchnock now in Coircromby near Callander [which property was] purchased by the Earl of Murray from Drummond of Perth. This lot consist of Bochastill, Tarndown & Coircromby which cost £15000. [The] foresaid John [is] yet alive [and has] four sons: James, Duncan, Alexander and Donald." | Stewart, John in Corriechrombie (I17244)
|
| 4208 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as: "John Stewart, tacksman Fenglam, Ardvorlich, Comrie parish, son to Peter Stewart, late tacksman of Leadsgriadan. He has four sons who are all minors. One of them is a student intended for the Church of Scotland. John is a well doing farmer. Rent £160." No birth record has been found for John, but as he is shown as being the senior surviving line of the Lednascridan family and also has being the son of the late Peter Stewart in Lednascridan, then his birth is suggested here with confidence. OPR records show John in Lednascridan as late as 1804, but he is described in Stewarts of the South as residing in Finglen ca. 1818. According to family records for Line 5 of this family, the hereditary lease on Lednascridan, which had been in the family for nearly 300 years, expired in 1816 and was not renewed. John is found in the 1832 Perth Voters' List as still residing in Finglen. John and Kathrine are shown as being "both of this parish" at the time of their marriage. Their first child is recorded in the Balquhidder OPR as "begotten in antenuptial fornication", which fits chronologically with the data. | Stewart, John (I17209)
|
| 4209 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as: "John Stewart, [a] tacksman of Stroin and Ardmacmavine. [He] is a bachelor." | Stewart, John (I17160)
|
| 4210 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as: "John Stewart, [a] taxman of Portend of Menteith, in the Lordship of Menteith, now the Duke of Montrose's estate, and a Laird of Property of One Hundred per annum and some thousands in cash. [He has] one son. It is a difficult matter for me to give his character, for at times you would think [him] friendly, but his chief aim is grasping at money, for the bottom of his mind is self and... [illegible]. Rent £25. He is a real contrast in nature." | Stewart, John (I17068)
|
| 4211 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as: "John Stewart, [the] first son [who] died before his father." | Stewart, John (I17027)
|
| 4212 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as: "John Tacksman of Cuilanteogal & Tarnduin, Callander parish, Earl of Murray's estate. Rent £175. Tarnduin was bought from the Perth family. John is a bachelor." John's death certificate says he "died unmarried, age 73". Mrs Stewart of Milton says "John died at Colintogle unmarried." | Stewart, John in Coilantogle and Tarnduin (I17250)
|
| 4213 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as: "John, a smith in Crieff, [with] a family of minors." John is suggested by onomastics and geography to have married Jean MCEWAN (although no record of their marriage has been found) and had the following family: | Stewart, John (I17064)
|
| 4214 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as: "John, a tacksman of Milton & Blargavred (Blairgarry), Callander parish, on the Earl of Murray's estate. He is an active young man with two sons who are minors. £250 annual rent." Mrs Stewart of Milton says of her own father-in-law: "John S. (in) Auchnahard afterwards in Milton. He m. Mary McDonald & had 4 sons." John's marriage to Margaret McDonald is double registered on 20 Dec 1812 in Port of Menteith and 25 Dec 1812 in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland. John is mentioned in the Glasingall trial documents as follows: "At Milton in the Parish of Callander and the County of Perth on the 21st day of May 1851 in the presence of James Crystal, Notary Public duly licences and residing in Stirling. Compeared John Stewart farmer Milton who solemnly declared as follows that I am in my 68th year and nephew by the father’s side of old Duncan Stewart in Auchnahard, Glenfinglas." In 1851, John was residing at Milton, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, age 67, farmer of 100 acres, employing three labourers, residing with his wife Margaret, age 60, and children John, age 35, and Margaret, age 23. In 1861, John was residing at Callander Road Milton, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, age 77, born in Callander, farmer of 400 acres employing 3 men and 2 women, with his wife, Margaret, age 70 and son, John, age 45. In 1871, John is not found residing with his son in Milton, while his widowed wife is. | Stewart, John of the Milton and Blairgarry (I17335)
|
| 4215 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as: "John, an undertaker of works about Glasgow." | Stewart, John (I17031)
|
| 4216 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as: "John, his successor pays £40 of rent." John is mentioned in the Appendix to Stewarts of the South as follows: "Missed, in the parish of Callander, the two farms of Portnellan [on] Loch Venacher side, between Cuilanteagle and Miltown. Where two John Stewarts, cousins, tenants of Portnellan, of the Gartnafuaran family, at least they say so, industrious men, and pay each £42, [on] the Earl of Murray's property, formerly [the property of] Perth." | Stewart, John (I17208)
|
| 4217 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as: "One of them [is] John Stewart [who is] one of the eight sharers of the glen, rent £105. [He has] two sons who are minors." | Stewart, John (I16969)
|
| 4218 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as: "One of [Walter nan Cliugh Stewart's] descendants was commonly called by the name of Iain du na Stroain ("Black John of Stroan" or Sron, meaning "a nose shaped peak or promontory") [a] tacksman of Sroin [on] Lochcatherinside [in] Callander parish [on] Drummond of Perth's estate. He was [a] Lieutenant in [the] Duke of Perth's Regt [in] the year [17]45. He was feuer of Balmenoch ("middle farmtown") in Glenbuckie, which he sold to [the Glenbuckie] family after [17]45, as all his goods were destroyed. Perhaps no clan could boast of an honester friendlier man than this was." Stroain (also spelled Sron, Sroan, Stron, Stroan, Stroine, Strowan, etc.) is recorded on present-day maps as Strone and is located exactly 1 km west of Edraleachdach on the north shore of Loch Katrine in Strathgarntey, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland. It is suggested that John du na Stroan is the John Stewart shown in the Callander OPR as residing in "Stronganaltrie" -- which is recorded elsewhere in the Callander OPR as just "Stron" and is transcribed in Mitchell's MIs as "Strongalbuthee" and may be a corruption or transcription error for "Stron Gartney", that is, "Stron in Strathgartney". The children shown in the Callander OPR for John Stewart in Stranganaltry match very closely with the description of the children of John's given in Stewarts of the South. They also fit onomastically with this line. | Stewart, Lt. John Dubh na Sroan 4th of Strone (I17172)
|
| 4219 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as: "One son, John, [is] a tenant in the Estate of Ramsay of Auchtertyre, now [the property of Henry] Dundas. [He is] a writer in Edinburgh. Rent £150. [He is] newly married." | Stewart, John (I17069)
|
| 4220 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as: "The other, John, [is] now farmer in Spittle [in] Killearn parish [in] Stirling county, [which is] the birth place of the famous George Buchanan - which pays £100 of rent. This John has five sons about himself [who are] all doing well. Two of these [sons] [have] families, consisting of four or five sons each." | Stewart, John (I17089)
|
| 4221 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as: "The third son, was John of this family, [a] farmer in Cuil-an-Arigh, who left two sons, who were both tenants in the above farm [in] Callander parish, [on] the Earl of Moray's [estate], in which farm formerly were eight tenants, chiefly of the name of Stewart, and now there is only one tenant, who has also another adjoining farm." The reference to "the above farm" is unclear. It would appear to refer to Offerans ("The Offerings"), but we have no record of Offerans being a major settlement of Stewarts. The Callander OPR reveals very few Stewart births in Offerans. The actual location of Cuil-an-Arigh has not been identified. | Stewart, John (I17202)
|
| 4222 | John is described in the Appendix of Stewarts of the South as: "Mr John Stewart, Tenant in Torry, of the Gartnafuaran family, a young well-doing man, £60, same property (Buchanan of Auchlesikine)." John is mentioned in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions, buried with his wife and parents in Callander cemetery: "194 John STEWART, late tenant (at) Wester Torrie, died MAR 1808, age 63, son John 25 JAN 1867, age 78 (and his wife Janet BUCHANAN 24 FEB 1875, age 64, and their son John 11 DEC 1848, age 6 years) JS 1821 SF" John may be the John Stewart found in 1841 living at Callander #1, age 50, employed as a turner, residing with Janet Stewart, age 50 (sister?), and Janet Stewart, age 20 (sic 30?, wife?) and William Stewart, age 15 (unknown). | Stewart, John (I17237)
|
| 4223 | John is described rather unflatteringly in Stewarts of the South as: "John, [who is] in life, [and is] a writer in Glasgow.... John, the writer, was first the hope, and, afterwards, the ruin of the family. He is indeed a shameful profligate rascal, although a decent gentlemanlike looking man." | Stewart, John (I17087)
|
| 4224 | John is found in 1861 residing at Upper Hythie with his widowed mother and siblings. | Stewart, John (I17092)
|
| 4225 | John is found in 1881 with his parents in Turnberry, Huron County, Ontario, Canada. He is found in 1891 with his parents in Douglas, Selkirk, Manitoba, Canada. In 1901 John was residing with his parents in Rhineland, Lisgar, Manitoba, Canada. | Stewart, John Albert (I17193)
|
| 4226 | John is found only in the 1851 census and is presumed to have died young. | Harrold, John (I7738)
|
| 4227 | John is found residing with his parents in 1851 and 1861. No birth record has been found for him. In 1861, at age 15, John Gillespie was residing with his parents at #2 First Division in Deanston, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland. He was employed as a cotton thruster spinner. In 1871, at age 25, John Gillespie was residing at F 4th Division in Deanston, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, with his wife and newborn son, James. John was employed as a Blacksmith. John has not been found in the 1881 or later census records. It is presumed that he moved away. In some online genealogies he has been confused with a John Muirhead Gillespie (bachelor) who married in 1877 in Denny, Stirlingshire, Scotland to Margaret Stirling and had a family there. As our John Gillespie was already married in 1877 then they could not be the same person. | Gillespie, John (I21765)
|
| 4228 | John is inferred in Stewarts of the South in an entry for his son Alexander in which Alexander is described as "Alexander mac Iain Duibh, brother to James of Dunveirg." The chronology given for this line in Stewarts of the South is vague and it is possible that John and his descendants could be out by one generation as shown here. They have not been identified in any public records as of yet. | Stewart, John Dubh (I17186)
|
| 4229 | John is listed as a son of Walter Stewart in Duncan Stewart's 1739 Genealogy. | Stewart, John (I16981)
|
| 4230 | John is mentioned as a minor son in Stewarts of the South (ca. 1815). The Balquhidder OPR does not give his place of birth, but Lendascridan is a reasonable assumption. | Stewart, John (I17002)
|
| 4231 | John is mentioned in a charter by Queen Mary in the year 1548 in favour of his nephew and heir George Cuthbert (6th of Castlehill) for the lands of Auld Castle Hill. He is believed to be the "John Cuthbert, Sheriff Deputy of Inverness" referred to in a decreet by Alexander Bailyie dated 26 JUL 1543. (GD96/28) John was witness to a Letter of Reversion by Donald Makfersone dated 20 FEB 1534 in which he is cited as "John Cuthbert of the Auld Castlehill" along with fellow witness "William Cuthbert, his son and apparent heir". Also mentioned in the transaction is "William Cuthbert, burgess of Inverness". (GD176/34) Lachlan Shaw, in his History of the Province of Moray, asserts that the adjacent Barony of Inches became a possession of "a son of Robertson of Strowan who married the widow of Cuthbert of Castle Hill about 1548 and his son became Laird of Inches, which is part of the Barony of Castle HIll." Assuming the reference is to a laird of Castlehill rather than one of his sons, then it would seem most likely to refer to John Cuthbert, 5th of Castlehill. John was alive in 1548 when the above charter was written, but he had been succeeded by his nephew George by no later than 1556. | Cuthbert, John (I3387)
|
| 4232 | John is mentioned in Stewarts of the South as follows: "William Stewart, Esqur, the presant proprietor, four sons: 1 Robert, 2 John, 3 Willm, 4 Anthony." John immigrated to Montreal, Quebec, Canada, where he was a merchant. He died young. It is believed he had no children. | Stewart, John (I17106)
|
| 4233 | John is mentioned in Stewarts of the South as: "John Stewart at Kirktown of Balquhidder, son to Duncan, late of Tulloch, has no family." | Stewart, John (I17217)
|
| 4234 | John is mentioned in Stewarts of the South in the following reference to his father: "Robert Stewart left one son, John, a shoemaker in Callandar." No matching birth has been found in the Callander OPR, but he could have been born elsewhere and then moved to Callander. | Stewart, John shoemaker (I17009)
|
| 4235 | John is mentioned on his father's gravestone, referred to above. No record of John's birth has been identified. This family has not been found in census records. As John is not found in census records residing in Strone then it is presumed he sold Strone, however this has not been confirmed. | Stewart, John (I17192)
|
| 4236 | John is not confirmed as a son of Samuel Harrold. (See Samuel's notes for more information). John is found in 1841 residing in "Hallysyard", Hardingstone, Northampton, nearby to Samuel in "Under the Trees", Hardingstone. Samuel is just the right age to be John's father and there is no other family residing in the parish of Hardingstone with the surname of Harrold. Also, the fact that John named his eldest son Samuel further reinforces the likelihood that John is a son of the elder Samuel as shown here. However, this relationship remains unproven. Almost all post-1860 North American records for this family show the their surname spelled "Harold" with one 'r' while almost all pre-1860 North American records and almost all English records (regardless of date) show the surname spelled "Harrold" with two 'r's. Family tradition among the grandchildren of John Harrold claims that John Harrold was a cattle drover from the Orkney Isles in Northern Scotland and that he immigrated to England before later immigrating to Canada. However this tradition appears to be entirely false. Census records verify that John Harrold came from Hardingstone, Northampton, England and that he and his suggested father were both born in Hardingstone. Census records further imply that he had a broad extended family residing in Northampton suggesting that they had resided in Northampton for several generations. Northampton parish records show occurrences of the surname Harrold going back to the late 16th century. And there is also a village named Harrold located about ten miles east of Hardingstone, Northampton suggesting the surname was present in the area into antiquity. All of which strongly suggests that our Harrold family was domestic to Northampton and had resided there for hundreds of years and did not come from the Orkney Isles. The Orkney tradition may have its basis in a corruption of the name of a town called Olney in nearby Buckinghamshire where some of the Harrolds below have been traced to. Perhaps the name "Olney" became corrupted into Orkney as the tradition evolved. The fact that John Harrold was an agricultural labourer could indicate that he handled cattle and from this could have evolved the tradition that he was a cattle drover. | Harrold, John (I7737)
|
| 4237 | John is not found in any census records and is presumed to have died in childhood. | Prangley, John (I12869)
|
| 4238 | John is not found with his parents in 1841. | Haddlesay, John (I7355)
|
| 4239 | John is not found with his parents in 1851. He would have been only 16 and may have been employed outside the home, but more likely he died young. | McNaughtan, John (I10720)
|
| 4240 | John is not identified by name in Stewarts of the South but is said to have been already deceased by the time of authoring, ca. 1815. | Stewart, John (I17081)
|
| 4241 | John is not listed in Stewarts of the South as he was probably born around the time of writing. | Stewart, John McKerrow (I17309)
|
| 4242 | John is not mentioned in Duncan Stewart (1739), but is mentioned by MacGregor: "John Stewart, is styled the eldest son in his Testament and dsp. His brother, Robert, was served heir general to him on 20 October 1725." This must be understood as eldest "surviving" son, as the OPR shows that Alexander was the eldest, but he died before John. | Stewart, John (I16933)
|
| 4243 | John is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South and is presumed to have died young or emigrated. | Stewart, John (I16971)
|
| 4244 | John is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South and is presumed to have died young. | Stewart, John (I16958)
|
| 4245 | John is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South and is presumed to have died young. | Stewart, John (I16966)
|
| 4246 | John is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South and is presumed to have died young. | Stewart, John (I17014)
|
| 4247 | John is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South and is presumed to have died young. | Stewart, John (I17028)
|
| 4248 | John is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South, however he is mentioned in the records of the family of his nephew John Fisher. As John Stewart is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South, he is presumed to have died prior to the writing of that document (ca. 1815-1820). According to Fisher family tradition, John Stewart raised his nephew, John Fisher (born 1805), after John Fisher's mother, Janet Stewart (John Stewart's sister) died. John's spinster sisters, Maggie, Katie, and Kristy, also raised John Fisher, presumably after John Stewart died. | Stewart, John in Balliemore (I17050)
|
| 4249 | John is not recorded in family tradition, not mentioned in Stewarts of the South, not identified as a father of any later children, not found in census records, and his brother Alexander seems to be deferred to as nominal head of this branch in Stewarts of the South (ca. 1815), thus it is presumed that John died young. | Stewart, John (I16906)
|
| 4250 | John is presumed to have died in infancy prior to the birth of his same-named brother in 1772. | Stewart, John (I16924)
|
